Best shorts

I heard of janji from several runners and podcasts.
I hesitated because of the price. Finally I wanted some quality shorts so I ordered my first pair.
I have a few other Janji items and live them too.
The shorts fit perfect, don't chafe, are comfortable and don't ride up. They also have plenty of storage.
My only complaint is they seem to run out of f stock in my size and cannot get the styles I want!

So comfortable!

These shorts are so comfortable I forgot I was wearing them! I was worried the leg openings were going to feel tight but once I started running they felt perfect! I don't want to wear my hydration vest for shorter runs so having all the pockets was a dream! A collapsible water bottle fit perfect in the side pocket.

These shorts are amazing!! I wear them for my long runs, and my marathons. They have great storage. I like them to have a little room in them so I order a medium although if you like the super tight you could Go! Wits small which is what I normally order in all my other shorts.

Almost perfect

I love these shorts for running because of the pockets. I am a type 1 diabetic so I need to carry extras beyond my typical fuel and these shorts hold it all without bouncing. They stay up without too much compression, which can sometimes feel stifling on a long run. My only complaint is the length. I wish these came in a 5” length similar to the pace shorts (but keep the pockets!). The 3.5” length tends to ride up during the first mile of the run (before I sweat enough to make it stick). After that, it’s fine. But a slightly longer length would be more comfortable. The length is the only thing stopping me from purchasing more pairs of these shorts.

Perfect shorts!

These are my new favorite running shorts by far. Super comfortable. The fabric is lighter than other pairs I own from different brands but way better quality and more durable. The pockets are perfect for storing my phone, gels, keys, and snacks, and they have never chafed me. I am an XS in most bottoms (5’1 and ~100lbs) and XS fit perfectly.
